The American Museum of Natural History is absolutely incredible! There’s so much to explore that you could easily spend an entire day here and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. The exhibits are fascinating, from the massive dinosaur fossils to the stunning displays on the ocean and outer space. The museum is clean, well-organized, and truly brings science to life in the most exciting way. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there are tons of interactive features that make it fun for all ages. The planetarium show was a highlight — breathtaking visuals and a really cool learning experience.

A beauty !!!!! Amazing !!!!! Neat easy to explore. It was a pity that the day of the visit in the evening there was a "Fashion Week" and there were some rooms that I wanted to know closed. At the time of purchase no one told me about it, it would have changed the day of my visit. I was coming from Costa Rica..... I still enjoyed a lot of this wonderful exhibition.

The Museum was quiet nit crowded, just to see the smile on my grandsons face was priceless. The dinosaurs and the amphibians and the African animals . He was so overjoyed. We also did the solar system the show was amazing. We have to come again to finish there are so many exhibits to see. So we are planning trip number two very soon.

    Loved it! Me and my girlfriends first time in New York City and ofcourse we had to see the American museum of natural history. We arrived at the museum at what I could only assume one of the busiest times of the year mid December and it didn't feel busy at all inside the museum ofcourse it was but there's so many levels and exhibits that you're never around lots of people, we also took a break inside the museum cafe which was a nice break for some food and drink at a decent price you would expect for a museum of this calibre it was a nice break in between the walking. Overall great experience and would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in natural history/ night at the museum movie, we got to see "rexy" and "dumb dumb" (Easter island head stone) And MUCH MORE which was very cool! Don't wait book the tickets and go you won't regret it! Headout app really helped us pre book the tickets and made it easy when we arrived, the staff at the museum even know of the Headout app and recognized the tickets immediately, definitely recommend Headout app!

    It was not very crowded, the best activity with kids in a rainy day. The food at the food court was fresh and good.

    Great place for dinosaurs as they have recently acquired Apex for $44.6 million and he was totally worth it
